The Carmi-White County Junior High girls basketball teams hosted their first game of the season, splitting games with visiting Eldorado. The seventh grade team just missed a win in their season opener while the eighth grade squad pulled in their first win of the year in five games.

The seventh grade Lady Bullpups could not contain a 7-2 run in the fourth quarter to keep the Lady Eagles grounded Wednesday, Oct. 30, experiencing the loss 28-25. The Bullpups, coached by Jenny Howard, led by two heading into the fourth quarter, but could not add any points to the total until midway through the final period, giving Eldorado enough time to get the advantage and stay out in front.

Lily Wenzel led the Bullpups with 7 points followed by Julia Smith and Mayci Edwards who each added 6. Other Bullpup scorers were Remi Huff with 4 points and Carlee Hart with 2. Edwards led on the boards with 6 rebounds and six steals followed by Hart with 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Other stats were Lily Wenzel (2 rebounds, 1 steal), Remi Huff (1 rebound, 3 steals), Alexia Chambliss (2 steals) and Claire Shephard (2 rebounds). Other members of the team included Emily Brown, Courtney McRoy, Nora Blake and Haley Collins.

In the eighth grade contest, the Lady Bullpups had a slow start, trailing 18-13 after the first quarter but evened things up at 23-all heading to the locker room at halftime. The Lady Eagles proved fierce and maintained their ground through the second half, but in the end, CWC got the edge in the 43-40 win.

Abby Vaughan was once again tough to contain, scoring 19 points and adding 9 rebounds and 3 steals. She was followed by the team's point guard, Janes Smith, who added 10 points and 1 rebound. Other Lady Bullpups in the stats included Olivia Bohleber (6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal), Carrie Blankenberger (4 points, 2 rebounds) Emmajoy Gray (2 points, 2 rebounds) and Autumn Schneider (2 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal). Other members of the team include Grace Biggerstaff, Ivory Rhodes, Lindsay Slaton, Grace Sinclair and Shaelyn Perkins, who is currently injured and unable to play.

Roger Hortin's eighth grade team moves to 1-4 on the season. Longtime assistant Lee Wohlhueter also joined Hortin on the bench for CWC.
